GearWrench releases Gimbal Ratchet at SEMA

GearWrench

At the recent SEMA Show, our friends at GearWrench were showing off a new Gimbal Ratchet.Â This is a step up from the typical thumb drive ratchets.Â In tights spots the two plane gimbal allows for the ratchet to fit securely on the fastener and then pivot or lean the ratchet to get the most secure grip on the tool and then spin on or off the fastener.Â Think of a gyroscope and you’ll get the idea

This ratchet is great for tight spots and shows someone was thinking at GearWrench.Â The tool comes in either the 1/4″ or 3/8″ drive and would be great for low torque, tight situations.Â It fits great in the hand and is sturdy, but still lightweight.

Pricing and Availability

This ratchet will be coming out in the beginning of 2014 and I figure it’ll price out at around $20.Â Their website even suggests earlier delivery if you need a hint for the holidays!Â Tell us what you think and if it made your wish list.
